A decision by the U.S. Supreme Court means the federal government now has an open door to “detain as a threat to national security anyone viewed as a troublemaker,” according to critics.

The high court this week refused to review an appeals court decision that said the president and U.S. military can arrest and indefinitely detain individuals.

The firm of William J. Olson, P.C., which filed a friend-of-the court brief asking the court to step in, noted that not a single justice dissented from the denial of the request for review.   Continue reading “Supreme Court green lights detention of Americans”

The body of a man that was pulled from the Hudson River Monday has been identified as that of a 27-year-old jogger from New Jersey who went missing March 30.

The New Jersey Regional Medical Examiner’s Office identified the remains Tuesday night as Andrew Jarzyk, of Hoboken, thanks to the forensic analysts of the victim’s teeth and personal identifiers like tattoos.

The exact cause and manner of death have yet to be determined, but officials say Jarzyk’s body showed no signs of trauma to suggest foul play.   Continue reading “Bank manager, 27, washes up dead in Hoboken harbor a month after he went missing while training for a half-marathon”

A University of Illinois at Chicago study just published in the journalEndocrinology has determined that even a low level of exposure to the plastic component bisphenol A, or BPA, during development contributes to an increased risk of developing prostate cancer later in life.

“Previous studies have shown that people who avoided all contact with plastics or other BPA-containing objects for up to a month or more still had BPA in their urine, which means they must have come into contact with BPA in the last 24 to 48 hours, since it clears the body rather quickly,” said Prins, who is director of the UIC andrology laboratory. “It’s very hard to avoid.”

The Jerusalem Post – by Gerald Steinberg

It’s official – there is a major crisis in relations between Jerusalem and Washington. This is not an emotional response or passing tiff over the timing of Jerusalem building announcements, but a full-blown dispute on issues effecting vital Israeli and American interests. And although the personalities of Barack Obama and Binyamin Netanyahu may influence the conflict at the margins, the real clash is over policies and goals.

In most survival situations, a good knife can make a huge difference. Some of us remember the “Rambo” knives with hollowed out handles and small survival kits inside. The cheap ones were as sharp as  spoons and fell apart quickly. This is obviously not something you want to happen when your life depends on it.

Selecting the right knife is a matter of personal preference, availability and your budget. Good knives don’t have to be expensive.    Continue reading “Selecting the Right Survival Knife”

WASHINGTON — An elderly blind veteran crying in pain spent four hours and 45 minutes in the emergency room of the VA Medical Center in North Las Vegas before seeing a doctor in October, but federal inspectors said in a report Wednesday that such long waits were not unusual for patients at the hospital.

Sandi Niccum, 78, waited 63 minutes before an initial check by a triage nurse for abdominal pain, then was sent to continue waiting without being rechecked periodically before finally seeing a physician. Hospital workers failed to reassess her condition during the long wait, as they are required to do on an hourly basis, according to a 19-page report by the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General.   Continue reading “Inspectors: Long waits at North Las Vegas VA hospital not unusual”

David M. Barger, 69, of Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho is a neck cancer survivor whose weight, according to Coeur d’ Alene Jail’s finest, is 108 pounds.  He stands 5’8” tall and is cold most of the time.  His is a daily struggle to swallow dinner without choking; his feeding tube disappears into his stomach and has become a tripping hazard at best.

I got to know David while listening to him call in on Henry Shively’s radio show, From the Trenches World Report.com for the past year.  David is very intelligent and is a political activist in his city.  In fact, he is so well known by the community that people smile when he politely greets them and listen to his high-end vocabulary and knowledge of political happenings.  Some find him too difficult to understand.  According to David, others find him a nuisance to eliminate, if necessary.    Continue reading “Coeur d’Alene Police Tackle Elderly Cancer Survivor”
